Doing some reading about Du Cane Range

Truly spectacular area and amazing camping spots in fine weather. To me, a premium hiking area once you leave the crowded valley bottoms.

There were no Tasmanian fires blowing smoke in our direction, so it must have been from the mainland fires... SA, VIC &/or NSW.
Still a little smokey today, but nothing like it was on Saturday.
The ranger I spoke to this arvo was more positive. Said they weren't discouraging people from going to the area. Will check in again tomorrow but looks like we'll be going ahead at this stage. I'll have to plan another trip for Du Cane!
